The Programmer (Superiority) Heirarchy - Which programmers feel superior to which other programmers. Ruby made me giggle. [By: timelady / 2006-12-26]

So, what if I use both C and Perl? Do I consider myself superior to myself? <Stack overflow error. Debug (Y/n)?> -ThirdOfFive
Where's my Fox? Bonus superiority to anyone who knows what language I mean. -VFox
If you're not talking about Foxpro (the dBase replacement / enhancement that is now maintained by Microsoft), then there must be some other fox of which I'm not aware. -chazz

Time track The Fat Man (tm) - You've heard about it, you knew it was being done... Now you can prove, once and for all, that Santa Clause DOES exist! If he didn't, would NORAD, "...a branch of the Federal Government", NOT be tracking him... in the interest of International Security, of course.
Apparently this is all part of Santa's continuing plea bargain agreement over charges of Trespassing, Breaking and Entering, Violating sovereign air space, international travel without a visa, transporting contraband electronics without inspection or tariffs.....
(Oh.. and as an aside to you all, my tech brothers and sisters... you, who have helped my mood more times then I care to count.... "Thank You. And my wish wishes to you all for a peaceful season, no matter what, if anything, you celebrate.")

Powerbook Explodes After Comcast Plugs In Wrong Cable

Ghost - You have no chance to survive make your time. HA HA HA HA! -Divinar
Now, jokes aside: Can an installer or electrician explain to me how is it possible to have a "live" coax? I've never heard of POWER being transmitted trough coax cable. -TheGhost
TheGhost - Consider how they get the power to the LNB on a satellite TV dish for home usage (aka "DirecTV" and "Dish Network" in the USofA). Power over Coax has LONG been common, albeit usually about 5 to 12V ... THAT said, in one other forum, a guy mentioned that it's possible the installer mistook a power connector for a female "F" if he wasn't able to see it well. Or that the coax shield dropped across the AC in, which would ground through the cable modem, through the USB port, and through the laptop ... It's possible. I've seen as bad on a near strike by lightning. -ralphp1024
*cough*cough* no comment. holy shit. -SpitefulTech

A matter of scale.. - A rather interesting phone call to Verizon, where it's revealed that they don't understand the difference between dollars and cents. [By: Splunge / 2006-12-09]

OMFG... Wow. -linkv
That was painful to listen to. -THETECHFROMHELL
Many people cannot do simple maths. Even with a calculator. They just don't understand it. Moreover, you can't explain it to them. If you try, they say something like "We can't all be math-e-matical geniuses like you, Gerund" in a sarcastic sort of way. I give up. -Gerund
I stopped listening after the first, "No (I don't understand the dif between dollars and cents)". This is nearly as bad as... well, lemme just add another rant to today's postings. -ShujinTribble
Gee, I sure would like to borrow .02 million dollars from the Verizon guy! -Parilla

Kid Makes Fusion Reactor in Basement - Now, look at the commentary by his mother. Too funny for words. [By: Hastur / 2006-11-27]

No, NO, NO!! A toddler IS a perpetual motion machine! -purplelinguist
Actually, upon reading the article, it doesn't sound so far-fetched. Yeah, he's establishing fusion, but only on a *VERY* small scale -- only a few atoms at a time. His total energy input is probably thousands of times (at least) greater than output. But his method is sound. And relatively simple! -Captain Trips
follow up: "Teen aged 'mad scientist' who created fusion in his basement missing. Further follow up: "Mysterious 'Mr. O' Holding world hostage with death ray. James Bond unavailable for comment" -drachen

I WANT A NEW HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAL!!!! -SpitefulTech
OOOh, You the man! Never thought I'd say this... Let's all VOTE! Seriously, all. I tell you what, the next time I have a fark-tard crappin on government, and when I ask, Did you vote? And he says No! I will punchhim/or/her in the face. If you don't vote you have no opinion! -Hellion
I smell Starship Troopers...and I mean the book! -RandalGraves
Hellion, I don't think that I will be voting this year. It's not worth going to prison and then being deported for misrepresenting my citizenship. But I still maintain the right to have opinions. -Fuji
Right on hellion! Because the underage and the ex-felons in most states have no right to an opinion! -Veinor
Veinor - I think it's safe to say that Hellion wasn't talking about the underaged, but the majority in the US that bitch and moan - but can't be arsed to get OFF their ass and go vote about it. And tend to have opinions shaped by the news media, with little or no resemblence to the facts. As to ex-felons? They gave that right up. "Do the crime, do the time." That part's been in the laws since, oh, George the First's day (and I don't mean Bush Sr.!) Of course, you can have a contrary opinion. I tend to agree with Hellion, with the "under-aged" exclusion. -ralphp1024
"Ex-felons gave that right up." "Do the crime; do the time." Interesting. So if I do the crime, and then do my time, it's still perfectly acceptable to continue to restrict my rights after I'm done doing my time? It's attitudes just like that one that are responsible for the 65% recidivism rate in this country. You're saying that once someone screws up, they no longer have any say in their government, even after they've completed their sentence? Can you say "taxation without representation?" The ex-felon voter demographic is growing by hundreds of thousands each year; almost 3/4 million last year alone. We have our own lobby, and it's getting noticed. So be careful who you piss off with that attitude, ralph. -RiffRaff
*shrug* If you had blown your foot off, then you'd still be footless. It's part and parcel of the payback. Don't like it? Work with folks to push for changing the law. But it's still there. And *ahem* So it's perfectly right to be a criminal if you don't like the laws? That means that Ken Lay (Enron prez) was right, correct? Or was he wrong? And how would he be different from any other felon (besides the fact that he's dead now)? I don't want your answer per se - just think about it carefully. As to pissing you off? *shrug* I've pissed off others during my life. Or am I NOT permitted to have an opinion, since it doesn't agree with yours? Consider your answer to THAT also - again, no need to reply here. Just think about it. -ralphp1024
what? i am so ahead of that. wait till your body mod responds like me;) -hal
Sure, you're entitled to your opinion, even if it is idiotic and uneducated. You might try reading the Constitution at some point to answer your own questions, because nowhere does it specify that any of the rights granted to citizens become null and void upon receiving a felony conviction, including the right to bear arms. Laws preventing ex-felons from voting are simply another method of the government end-running the 15th Amendment. Don't believe me? Try doing dome research on the subject before running your mouth on a topic which you clearly know nothing about. -RiffRaff
Amen Riff! (From another one of the club!) -VWFtech
personally i oppose disenfranchisement of any kind. let felons vote from prison, IMHO. Hell, they have time to actually research their candidates, right? -illiterate
um, what does felon voting rights have to do with robot suits? -illiterate
Got me. Hellion started it. ;~} -RiffRaff
Riff - You MIGHT want to re-read what I wrote. NOWHERE did I say it was in the Constitution. Speed limit laws aren't in the constitution either. Nor are the laws against murder. You claiming they don't apply to anyone either? Secondly - that's on a state by state basis. *shrug* But that's simple - just don't commit a felony, you won't lose your right to vote in those states. And - as I said - don't put words in other folks mouths. Never said it was in the constitution. If I did - QUOTE where I did, m'kay? -ralphp1024
Just don't commit a felony and all is good, huh Ralph? Well, having looked at your raped constitution, that isn't so easy. And what about getting arrested protesting your lack of rights? Do we all become mindless obedient robots? Oh, and the holier than thou tone of that is pretty arrogant, btw. What happened to redemption, done the time, its over? Is the US so punitive that it must keep punishing after prison? Are felons not human citizens too? Dont they have a right to say what their world post prison, the world their families live in, should be like? Thats so sodding self righteous, makes my blood boil. -timelady
Boobies. Accentuated with Power Armor. Think about that, and all will be well. -TechieSidhe

I was singing that song when going into the shower I come on here and I see someone posted the link that is scary. I was thinking about that song since of SouthPark -Motient
is it the WOW version or some other version,(at work and can't watch) ::frown -drachen
It's the WoW version, audio only. -maciarc
Does anyone know where this song is originally from, and where we can get a vid of that? -MatrixMole
I think the song is actually from a musical -- Avenue E if I recall correctly. -chazz
Close, but not even in the right half of the alphabet, Chazz: it's from "Avenue Q", a Tony-award winning Broadway musical. The Anime-Music-Videos that have been made from it (one based on "World of Warcraft" and one based on "Trigun") have been around for over a year. They're everywhere. The Trigun one, at least, could be found at http://www.animemusicvideos.org , I'm sure (along with hundreds of other videos or links to them. I'm especially fond of the "1985/Azumanga Daioh" vid.) -LoTech
IIRC - Back in the day (Mid-70's), Ave Q in Brooklyn was home to "Puppy City", "...get a free house-breaking Wee-Wee Pad with every puppy."</WPIX-11 TV> -ShujinTribble
Shujin, I remember that commercial! Do you remember “Everyone into the pool!”? -Gunpe
Actually no.. though on further percussive memory adjustment, it was "Puppy City - Ave U in Brooklyn".</Old OLD fart> -ShujinTribble
Just in case you were curious: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6iAWst1zXkM is a link to an amateur video cameraman's shot of the original... probably not the original cast, though. -chazz

Is it possible to host the XML on the TSC website?
Depending on the website's build, it can be automated server-side. Just my 2 cents... :) -TheMacOne
I'm looking into hosting one myself, I just gotta find out how to automate it cos I= T3h l4zy -Tarantulus
What's involved in the automation process? I've got a server that can be used, but I've never done anything with xml. Heck I can barely put together html beyond the most basic of tags. -MatrixMole
If u use Dreamweaver, there is an extension that is free (i think) that can do the job for you.
If the info supplied is wrong, feel free to BFG me. :\
Sry, lack of sleep. -TheMacOne
@MatrixMole: the XML is the easy part, the hard part is find/creating a tool that will scan the html of TSC and add it to the XML file -Tarantulus
Google is my friend... http://tinyurl.com/yjjfll for building rss feeds in general... not sure when I'll have the project complete but now that I know it's possible I'll work on it between phone calls and emails lol -MatrixMole

MMMmmmm insects - I'll let you read the horror for yourself. Can anyone confirm this? (I know Wikipedia confirms it already but I just don't want to believe!) [By: NOFXfan / 2006-10-05]
Comment on this Link

Meh.... Way over-hyped, but true. ( http://www.snopes.com/food/ingredient/bugjuice.htm ) You inhale more insects (whole) when you dust your furniture and vacuum your house then you ingest from these foods. Additionally, ask anyone who's been through survival training, and they'll tell you that insects are an excellent source of protein. -RiffRaff
Unfortunately it's all true. mmmm yummy beetle guts <EG> -Tarantulus

as a non-vegan non-jew i'm not too worried about eating insects. especially if they make things taste or look good. i like organic foods whenever i can get them, but insects are fine, they are organic afterall. -Lehk
I'm not really disturbed by this at all, particularly considering that lobster, crab, and creyfish are very closely related to spiders and scorpions. What disturbs me more are caviar and patte (fish eggs and whipped goose liver). People actually pay lots of money to eat that stuff. -Antacid

There is a theory bandied amongst some anthro-types that we enjoy French Fries so much because they remind us at some basic level of wood grubs. These supplied significant dietary protein at a distant past point in our heredity. -TieDyedDinosaur
From Riff's Link: "There is a book out very recently that claims the red color of strawberry milkshakes comes from a tropical beetle ground up for its red coloring."

Nah, Kreskin, I would have believed you. I didn't know who Wierd Al was until the early-90s, and I could tell that so long as he kept doing what he was doing, he'd always be popular. ;) Then again, in the early-90s I was the girl whose highschool photo made me look like a beetle ...the bug, not the band. -mousie

Hyperland, by DNA (with Tom Baker!) - From the BoingBoing article : "In this one-hour documentary produced by the BBC in 1990, Douglas falls asleep in front of a television and dreams about future time when he may be allowed to play a more active role in the information he chooses to digest. A software agent, Tom (played by Tom Baker), guides Douglas around a multimedia information landscape, examining (then) cuttting-edge research by the SF Multimedia Lab and NASA Ames research center, and encountering hypermedia visionaries such as Vannevar Bush and Ted Nelson. Looking back now, it's interesting to see how much he got right and how much he didn't: these days, no one's heard of the SF Multimedia Lab, and his super-high-tech portrayal of VR in 2005 could be outdone by a modern PC with a 3D card. However, these are just minor niggles when you consider how much more popular the technologies in question have become than anyone could have predicted - for while Douglas was creating Hyperland, a student at CERN in Switzerland was working on a little hypertext project he called the World Wide Web..."

We Will Never Forget - Five years, and this tribute still moves me to tears. Please take a few moments to remember. [By: RiffRaff / 2006-09-11]

I agree. Hard to believe it's been 5 years for that, 11 years for the OKC-Murrah bombing, and 13 years since WTC-I. Just wow. With all the crap that's happened since, there was a lot of good shown that day and the days following, by the emergency personnel and the people and companies that banded together to help out. By the way, *dial-up warning* - this is a 7MB file. -missourimule
...The dust plume was easilly seen and photo'd by ISS while passing overhead at roughly 360 km (220 miles)... Incredible. -ShujinTribble
What struck me is how New Yorkers pulled together and helped each other after such a disaster, yet after Katrina in New Orleans it was "dog eat dog." You'd expect the exact opposite in each city based on stereotypes. (Just about the only thing that makes me proud of being from New York!) -Captain Trips
All I can say; never again. -virusjtg
Captain: with the attacks it was "those bastards attacked us, all of us." so they banded together. with katrina it was "I can't get out." or "I won't get out" nothing about we there. -drachen
I wanted to add that it was very beautiful how New York and all of America bonded. Being from an area that was devastated by Katrina (since it was mentioned) I'd like to thank the rest of the country who helped because there were alot who opened their homes to those without. -Zayda
Yes, 9/11 was a terrible thing. So what did America do? Attack a country that had nothing to do with it, namely Iraq.
Ask yourself this question...how many innocent Iraqis have via this course of action? Are their lives somehow worth less than that of a US citizen? N.B. MAny nations, including my own lost lives at the TWC. My feelings are with ALL that have lost innocent loved ones. -lineswine
Iraq should have been dusted LONG before 911 just for firing missles at the patrol aircraft. We should have NUKED Afganistan and Palistine for 911, and told the rest of the world to F-off with their complaints. We've lost enough lives trying to bring civilization to nations that WANT to live in barbarizm. Let em rot. -LeopardMadcat
Now if we only had the resources to deal with our internal barbarianism. The US is rotting from the core here. -PolarCoyote

I like "No trespassing Violators will be shot Survivors will be shot again" -Motient
The sign for 'Dildo' is real. The town of Dildo is located in Newfoundland, less than and hour's drive from St. John's. -StylinTechie
"fuk mi" is fake: http://www.engrish.com/faq.php#Q6 -Veinor
I guess the iLoo is right out, then. :P -Antacid
The Climax / High Point sign is not far from where I live. Both are towns/Cities next to each other. -Gunpe
I wonder why they never take a shot of the Romulus MI sign? Not enough Trek fans online? -Caffiend
The 'Diesel Fried Chicken' is a gas! -TieDyedDinosaur
They forgot the intersection of Unida Place and Haveteur Way! (Located in the Serra Mesa neighborhood of Sandy Eggo. The developer had a thing for fast food.) -Captain Trips
I personally like the sign near Halifax that indicates that the next exit is for "Mount Allison" and "Up. Uniacke". Seems fitting somehow... -chazz
What, no Big Beaver exit 69? I pass that one twice daily. -edventure
The guy molesting the tree looks like Lineswine..... -CommanderData

CD - you are DEAD, ya hear me, DEAD! (Nightwalker is WAY too scary looking to say that to). -lineswine
I need to post a sign of the Kitty's Chinese Restaurant by me. -FixitWench
Unida Place & Havateur Way... I forgot about those, heard of 'em years ago...
"The POOP Shop..." Why am I reminded of a gomer advertising for his family tool business... Poor guy was saddled w/ the last name 'Shitty' (pronounced SHEDDY, but...SERIOUSLY!!!) "Thank you for calling Shitty Tools, how can we help you?" -MadJack
Lineswine: The term "tree hugger" is just that. a figure of speach.... It seams you've taken it a bit too literally, and to new heights (or is that depths?) -wolfprince
The guy who roofed my house was Gary, of Gary and Sons, not until he signed the estimate did I see his last name - Schmuck. Yep, Gary and Sons is a better name for a company! -TieDyedDinosaur
In Edmonton, AB, they have several "High Collision Intersection - Strictly Enforced" signs. I wonder if that means the city causes accidents? -Snakeeye

Too bad that list is so limited (so many of the same themes overdone) but it is a fair enough start. Much dumber things have been said or done than listed there. -Mushroom

Wow, can you say RABIDLY anti-conservative? In most of the categories, 3 out of 5 of the "nominees" are Bush, Cheney, or some other republican figure. Like the one "MEDIA OUTLET WHICH HAS BEST FURTHERED IGNORANCE"... Rush Limbaugh, or Fox News, but no CNN, NBC, ABC, CBS, etc? Colbert doesn't even BELONG on that list. This whole poll is a crock. -EagleEye

Donk likes it. 'nuff said. *Heads on off to the LART shelter* -Bobsentme
Stupid...it is a flip phone...wich means that you will never see the LCD WATER INDICATOR while talking, or while it is in a pocket or purse. The only time anyone will see it is when the battery is low, showing it off to their friends or bragging about how cool it is-like most people do...yyyaaawwwnnn. Take out the stupid motion sensor and add another antenna amp so i dont get anymore dropped calls! Just like an XBOX 360, they will build anything and everything into these things before it even works properly. -Acidstyle77
I said STUPID in the beginning of my comment, just wanted to make clear i wasnt refering to you....just the idea ;) -Acidstyle77
I wouldn't mind having that on my phone. The current battery indicator is completely worthless. It never goes down, the phone just goes dead with no warning when the battery dies. -sassicatz

Well, she's *some* future psychiatrist's doctoral thesis, waiting to happen... Unfortunately, medicating for paranoid schizophrenia has not had the kind of breakthroughs that meds for bipolar and depressive syndromes had. If you've ever seen anyone doing the 'Thorazine shuffle', you understand why schizophrenics avoid their meds; most antipsychotics cause users to suffer chronic drowsiness and lethargy. -MeanDean
Fascinating reading. I think I met her on a city bus once, parts of this seem familiar... except for mention Proteus was invented by and run by space aliens. Nevermind that detail. The flaw in this ointment is that it wasn't Cheney who bored of killing black women and was interested in gang-raping Iraqi men (Cheney is into gang-killing Iraqi men and women), it was Rush Limbaugh... if you're gonna file suit, get your facts straight. BTW, the "Rockerfellers" were named in the suit but I didn't see in the text where they came into this. Maybe because they're the old Illuminati? Nah, that's just crazy talk... -Mushroom

Heh. A former coworker told me once that he was landing a light plane (Cessna? some sort of light plane prop plane, in any case) on a runway (IIRC, at a military base he worked at) - and buzzed the tower when turbulence left over from the moving of the helicopters from the left side of the airstrip to the right side fo the airstrip flipped his plane 90 degrees. -Shevaresh
Amazing. I wonder if this was a planned shot or a case of someone in the right place at the right time. -Antacid
Why not both, Antacid? Remember that National Geographic cover-shot of the Taj Mahal framed by a rainbow? The photographer CALCULATED the place that he needed to be by using the angle of the sun and the index of refraction of water-to-air and THEN drove there to take the shot. (or so said my HS physics teacher.) -LoTech

400GB seagate PATA drive $109 - Free shipping too! even intl shipping to the uk only brings the toatl to £75 GBP! [By: Tarantulus / 2006-06-26]

It's available now in the store for $119, for those that crave instant gratification. Beware that there's two version, 8mb buffer, and 16mb buffer. I bought one of these, along with a Coolmax CN-550 NAS box on Saturday. The box sucks though. -Jeckler
Woo... Limit 5. Do I see a 2Tb RAID array in my future? -chazz
Looks like the sale has ended. It's now coming up with a price $90 higher, at $199. -HidariMak
They can't make up their freakin' minds. It's there now at $129. If I read it right, that -RK means it's the corporate RAID variety, with a 5-year warranty... -chazz
It is a good deal... but who would want a 400GB PATA drive... If you have that much data, wouldn't it take literally an eternity at IDE speeds to put onto it? -linuxmatt
133mb/s will give you about 10MB/s transfer rate; I can't speak for data rate to disk, because I don't know areal density. Let's assume 5MB/s, so 400GB is 400,000MB, or 80,000 seconds, which is about 22 hours. BUT: The limiting factor is still disk areal density, both for SATA and PATA; sure, SATA can transfer data twice as fast, but it's still hitting the disk at a speed slower than the theoretical wire transfer rate of UDMA133. -chazz
I copied about 40gb's to it in approximately 45 minutes. I wasn't paying a whole lot of attention, but I can do it again. It's in an Adaptec ACS-100 USB 2.0 case.
And some people are happy with PATA, and don't need to upgrade to SATA. Who copies 400gb's at a time anyway? :) -Jeckler
Chazz - First off, that's 133,000,000 bytes/second for ATA133. So it can transfer a burst of about 122MBytes/sec. Rotational speed will limit you. To linuxmatt - Err, how much faster do you think sustained rates are on 7200 RPM SATA-2 drives? BIG hint: None. -ralphp1024
Obviously I've been working on network and communications stuff for too long. Yes, your're right, UDMA speed is Mbytes per second, not Mbits per second. -chazz
Jeckler, you obviously have not seen Burkiss back up his pron collection have you? -ecoli
Frankly I wouldn't want to see Burkiss backing up. Period. -Gromit

Dude! You're getting a laptop from Hell! - I saw this on /., and thought that it was better than seeing some prick's spam in the LOTD section. There's a reason why these computers have been called "Notebooks" for the past six or seven years. [By: HidariMak / 2006-06-21]

I'd consider the source before I considered this real. -Bobsentme
real or not, if its between burning whatever i own and a little fire extinguisher residue...I'll pick the residue. -MrJay67
OT: I've obviously missed something, since the previous LOTD is the Bush 419 letter ... What happened? -Calydor
The story gives away very few details. However I'm willing to say if it is real it's probably due to a damaged or faulty battery pack going bang, especially as it mentions lots of smaller 'explosions' after the main bang. -fearmyroot
Re the spam - some bot posting a buncha links, by the looks. -Mahal
So is that what happens when you get the BIOS password wrong? -Wonko The Sane
Actually this reminds me of the note in the forum here on the recall of Dell notebook batteries. This could be why. I'd believe it. -ShiftedBeef
I'm slightly more concerned by the second picture - looks like the gent to the left has tried to put the fire out with a jug of coffee! -SoldierJedi

Prior to owning a computer, in the days where I did homework by hand, my cat would sit on my back, and bite my pen every time it got within range. -Mahal

Towel Day - 25 May - Towel Day is celebrated every May 25 as a tribute by fans of the late Douglas Adams. The commemoration was first held on Friday in May 2001, two weeks after his death on May 11, and since then has been extended to an annual event. On this day, fans carry a towel with them throughout the day. The towel is a reference to Adams's popular science fiction novel, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. [By: TechnoVampire / 2006-05-25]

Windows releases and their requirements - Here are the major releases for Windows, their release dates, and system requirements. Interesting stuff, is all. I will stick with Linux thanks:) [By: timelady / 2006-05-21]
Comment on this Link

Actually, the XP requirements are met by the spare P3 machines I have laying around. If you want grandiose requirements, try using KDE on Linux with xcompmgr running, and I mean STABLY... I didn't achieve this until I passed 512MB RAM. Windows eye candy with Object Desktop runs fine at 256MB. -suitepotato
Anyone care to tell me just why Windows, regardless of version, would require a 128MB video card?!? -TheSingingTech
Those higher specs are for the full blown eye candy with transparencies and the whole deal, you'll be able to run Vista without the eye candy with much lesser hardware -NOFXfan
Yeah, I can't afford the hardware to run that. I think I'll stick with WinXP, Win98, and FreeBSD...thanks, though. -snowcrash
Its the 15 gig bite out of your HD it wants that raised my eyebrow. XP and OSX both want around 3-4 gig max. Considering they dropped the WinFS core quite a while back it'll be interesting to find out what that other 10 gig is for. -Digital Dogcow
1gig ram and 15 gig hd space?! To space with that!! If you need me I'll be installing Linux... *Looks for his copy of Linux for Dummies...* -unrenowned
The article is wrong. Vista will run with 32MB of video RAM. It will run with 256MB of memory and takes up a little less than 4GB of disk space. It will also run on a PIII. To run AERO (The nifty 3D desktop, you will need 64MB of video memory per display. To run reasonably quickly, you will need at least 512MB of RAM and 1GB if you want it to be snappy. To have room for some programs, M$ recommends at least 15GB of disk space. Actually, it requires that just to install, but it doesn't use it all for the OS. For once, they're not posting minimum specs that are laughably small. Ever try and run XP on the "minimum specs"? It's incredibly painful. Besides, Vista is designed for today's computers, not the computers that came out 3 years ago. HD space is incredibly cheap and 1GB of memory isn't much more expensive than 512MB. I just got back from a technology preview yesterday and I'm pretty impressed. If you're going to buy a new computer next year anyway, vista is the way to go. (Unless you want a MAC, that is.) -scooby111

When the sound didn't happen, "Mario" seemed surprised, looked to someone off camera, and kept hitting it until the sound came back. Wonder if the sound gadget (computer?) broke, or locked up, at the wrong moment? -Divinar
You know I half suspect they were re-inacting the actual game play, that was playing on the blue screen above their heads. I wish the camera had of panned back once so we could see. Either way, sheer brilliance and a damn fine laugh. -ScoobySnaxz

Microsoft finally starts piracy checks - Starting Tuesday, the Evil Empire(tm) will push out a test tool, the "Windows Genuine Advantage Notifications" tool.

And of course, this utility is being coded by the same company which made Windows XP unpiratable, and who made the "Windows Genuine Advantage" tool to prevent the pirated copies from getting updated. I'd give it 48 hours before it's cracked. -HidariMak
I've seen it... It's like a nag screen for freeware copies of software (like GSAK for those who geocache)... At the blue Welcome screen, it says "this copy might be counterfeit" and gives you two buttons to click, but the OK or Continue button is greyed out for 10 seconds. Then there's a systray notification (think Security center alerts) that say the same thing. -exzyle2k
"Users will be able to decline the download." Only if you make a habit of checking what Automatic Updates is going to install. Also, I'm told from several friends that their illegal copies of XP downloaded the tool and are NOT getting any notifications. Try again, MS. -Calydor
Why would you let M$ automatically download, install, update or do ANYTHING without cheching what it is?! -Dj
umm, I haven't seen these nag screens, but I have automatic updates turned off.

Hm. That would explain the reboot one night. I have mine set to tell me about updates, too. I think they snuck this one in. -namor
have to agree with namor and GargoyleTS - came home Tuesday to find the computer had rebooted itself. I only allow notification, not downloading or installing.

....or you could just carry a bookbag everywhere. Admittedly, I might be more open to this than a man would, since many college aged women carry bookbags around as purse substitutes. And ladies, if you, like me, have discovered that your knitting regularly escapes and binds your cell phone to your CD player like some masochistic electronic bondage orgy...I've discovered that those little cases you get with makeup samples in them are the greatest thing ever. Put one item in each pretty little bag, and voila! Not only does your stuff stay off of each other, you also get to show the world that you spend far, far too much time in department stores. -Parilla
For about a year I used a Kensington Saddle Bag for my laptop... Then I stopped needing to transport it and it's now sitting in the trunk of my car holding my Disc Golf discs. -exzyle2k
Thing is, he's absolutely right. We guys do need something to carry around all the stuff that comes in handy on a daily basis. Funny that he didn't mention a laptop case, though. Mine can fit nearly anything I could ever possibly need in it. -linkv
Tech Bandolier...heck yes =) Even with velcro/snap kind of attatchment points for the various pouches/holders. -ThreeBucks
There's always http://www.scottevest.com/ On the plus side, their stuff looks pretty decent and they have products appropriate for both business and casual dress. The downside: You'll need to start your own fundraiser to afford most of it. -Antacid
What about messenger satchels? -stpatience
Is that a Geek Bandolier or Klingon Honor sash? -Divinar
i just carry everything in my back pack - not very organized but everything fits. -Harm
I made a belt pouch for myself - thing's GREAT! Its been to England, Canada, Japan, Australia and held passord, billfold, Palm III/Handspring Visor, Eye Module (little cam for the Visor), 2 pens and a LAY-Zhur pointer, eye drops and a case for business cards. Easilly adaptable to any tech situation... even have a special "Mister Dick" version that can hold a case of shotgun shells without opening the case. -ShujinTribble
Parilla -- these are pretty cool bags, too (for the chicks) http://www.luggagewarehouse.com//d8150568s.html and http://www.luggagewarehouse.com//d8150568.html -FixitWench
Jack Bauer carries a satchel. YOU tell Jack he has a purse. If it is good enough for him, why not the rest of us? -ProfessorFrink
I found a Fisherman/hunters waistcoat in a Charity shop for £1. It has 19 pockets of various sizes rangind from pen to "I bet I could get a small laptop in there. It does allow an enormous amount of stuff to be carried evenly distrobuted around the body and as I told Mrs Z "It looks good on me but then Everything looks good on me" Mrs Z assumed the Look she had before we married when she found the Elvis in Los Vegas costume in my wardrobe so I fear for its future ( I do have two back-ups with 21 pockets each) The only drawback is that Security Staff follow you round department stores as it looks like you could carry away a sizable chunk of their stock. -Zoomer
Oooh...I like that olive one. I bet I could make all sorts of slipcovers for them when I want to do something special. Better yet...I should just knuckle down and make my own darn slipcover purse....*plots* -Parilla
I dunno; the PDA case I carry on my belt carries not only my PDA, but also my cell phone (or the PDA modem, whichever), my reading glasses, a small comb, a Swiss Army pen, and a mini CD full of computer diagnostic utilities. With my mini-mag and multi-tool on the other side of my belt, there's not much else I need. -RiffRaff
The spouse has a ScotEVest and several pairs of pants and shorts. He adores them. Me, I have a pink backpack, and for larger items, the back seat of my car. ;-) -pixel
there was a suit jacket you could get that had like 100 pockets on the inside with cabling ports running throughout it so you could hide all your little gadgets and then hook up your headphones and look business like. I thought it was the e-jacket but a google search turns up nothing. -drachen
I just bought a Heys epac, and they're great backpacks for schlepping your laptop and other computer gear. Cool colours too! Link is www.heys.ca/epac if you want to check them out. -TechnoCat
Drachen, this one? http://tinyurl.com/5lheh -Tekkie
Gee, I simply have a cell and flashlight clipped to my belt, PDA and buisness cards in left jeans pocket, knnife keys and change in right, wallet in back right, cigarettes in shirt pocket, main tools and laptop in aluminum toolbox. Anything that I don't normally need stored in seperate plastic cases with handle. The trunk of my car usually has 1 case with networking tools (piers, crimper, tester, tracer, RJ11 and RJ45 connectors) 1 cable kit with 2 or 3 of each common cable type, a spare MB in original box, a spare modem,a spare power supply, a box with various memory chips, a box with various CPUs, a CD case with most major OSes, 1 with adaware, sypbot, AVG, and recent defs for AVG, Mcaffee, Norton, Adaware etc... but for the most part, the common stuff is in 1 toolkit, and on me. -garwain

Fuji: As a former Avionics (aircraft radio/nav/etc) Mechanic, we used some tools small enough that we had to make them ourselves, as they couldn't be bought, even in a dedicated electronics store. Bearing pullers, wrenches, offset screwdrivers, and some really small non-magnetic (usually brass) tools. But, I agree, I have the same thought when I hear "quantum mechanics". -missourimule
Heaven knows I'm doing it to my college carreer, Torinar. -Parilla

*sigh* and I suppose you still think Harry Potter went looking for the Sorceror's Stone... -Splunge
Actually, couldn't care less either way. Would make more sense to use the British terminology since it's *based there*. Really annoying when publishers think we Americans won't *get it* because they use a few non-American terms/phrases. Hey, we're smart enough to read a book without pictures, methinks we're smart enough to google any unfamiliar terms without distracting from the experience. And I was only joking about not getting you guys. Just thought it was an interesting site. :D -missourimule
Thank heavens for that! Finally an English/Colonial dictionary. <English grin> BTW, remember the fim "The madness of King George"? Its working (and correct) title was "The madness of George III" but the American backers thought that the U.S. audience would complain about missing episodes I and II... <sigh> sad, patronising to the majority of Americans, but true. -Gromit
It's just as bad as when a certain 007 film had its title changed from "Licence Revoked", because it was felt that the average American wouldn't know what "revoked" meant. -linkv
what about australian? we are polyglots of american/british amnd unique idioms..... -timelady
Yup. Same in Canada, mixture of British and Americanisms with a few Canadianisms thrown in. Then there's the Quebecois... -TechnoCat
Ah, come now, gromit. Americans didn't complain about missing parts 1-5 of the Bill Cosby movie "Leonard, Part 6". Of course, that would've required them to be *aware* that the movie existed in the first place, I'm guessing. -missourimule
When Bryon Talbot's "The Adventures of Luther Arkwright" was bought by an American publisher they stripped all his fantastic detailing off the covers as they felt Americans would not get it and thus not buy the comic. He claims the same people had the right to "Highlander" and seriously considered recutting it chronologically so there were no distracting flashbacks. In case anyone has them I don't appear till Book 2 -Zoomer

"You are surrounded by muppets. But that is okay because they are your friends and have shown many times that they can be trusted. Now if only you could stop being bothered about wormholes." Damn, I always thought of myself as a Stargate guy. -Bobsentme
You scored as Deep Space Nine (Star Trek). You have entered the dark side of the Star Trek universe. The paradise of Earth is far from you and you must survive despite having enemies on all fronts. But you wouldn’t have it any other way because you thrive in conflict and will know what needs to be done to take care of those around you.

What's the point of a 10 hour erection? Would that be for an hour of great sex, and nine hours of playing "ring toss" with yourself? I've never felt the need to measure my own anyways. If I ever needed to measure anything, I think that most people would prefer that I whip out a tape measure instead. -HidariMak
There *is* no point in having a ten-hour erection... Which was my point. All-day wood is one of the possible results of taking a *prescription* medicine --- Viagra --- when you have no medical need for it. So don't! -MeanDean
I can imagine spending 10 hours at it. Hell, why not? Have a friend who does this, too, so it's not completely impractical. -namor
Interesting that they talk about it being like extending neck length. Especially as neck length can't be extended, only the bones in the shoulders can be bent out of shape. Vertebrae don't grow all that well. I'd take this 'research' with a grain of salt. -Geminii

Deleting his music files from the company server. Check. Fucking up his iPod. Very uncool. -viennasausage
Non-approved hardware, not run-by IT, and hooked up to company network/machine....not ITs problem. I'm GargoyleTS and I approve this mess...age. *shifty eyes* -GargoyleTS
only deleted music and farked the iPod - user got off light! -Harm
Reminds me of a call one of my co-workers got the other day. The customer wanted his assistance in defeating the policy that had been set on his blackberry by his company. -illiterate
I say fucking up the Ipod was generous. Most places can get you fired for screwing up the network like that. -burrkiss
